This is a! quaint speaking trumpet with an obscure early, history, dating back to the times of the ' Knights Templars. In "shape-it resembles a French horn arid is more than five l'eet long; having a bell at .the end of the graduated tube. It was formerly six feet in length, but is now telescoped' at the joints, where the metal has apparently decayed. Tradition declares it was formerly .sounded from the" tower ,to summon aid in case of ueed, as, when blown at a height, the weird, deep notes the trumpet produced could' be heard a great distance away, in bygone days. It is believed that> this, curious instrument has often been used to 'call together the villagers, thus dispensing with the usual boll; and to rgive additional power and strength to the choir, being then probably used by'the chief singer, as the trumpet intensifies vocal sound to a marked degree.

As a (token of their gratitude the- men have over since allowed the women to, 'celebrate this great event by, holding a festival at stated intervals, and oir such - occasions they .cxei;cise no authority themselves,, but submit Mn all things to^ the will of the* women.

It is no small matter to lose ,both
i , home* aud friends. Even at the -mo-
r ' ineut of, the quarrel I had realized
th'at, but-now;, alone on the.'dark road.
all- which the sacrifice, was like to
mean came upon me with redoubled
i force. Still there was no thought in
-my mind of turning back. Though my
' heart' was bursting, I merely set my
' lips tight and rode on.- on; When a
man's temper Js< bad. his spurs' are
busy. 'Poor Edward sprang along in'
great leaps, threatening every moment
to bring us ,bo(b down with broken
necks. , ,
, Suddenly, I brought my beast tip with
a': jerk and listened. In a moment it

t, r. separated by perhaps fifty yards.

��� 'Mnans���ip~. but I .was -young, .and.agile,
' and I sprang from side to ��ide until
- he lost track of my blade In"the bad
light, and I-ran him through. * ,
The girl was standing by her horse
> when I'turned. A beam of light from
the rising moon forced its way through
the tangle of boughs and lit up her
' face. * ���>
I recognized it instantly--that calm,
proud face which I knew so well and
had so-little reason to love. As Hooked
at hor then 1 was forced to admit what
my anger had .made me deny many,
times that very morning���that she was
a magnificent woman.
Now that the danger was quite over
I was rather at a loss what to do next,
but the girl relieved me of this embarrassment, i
"I am traveling to Aldgate and have
lost my way." she said. "If you can
, set me on the right road. I shall be
still more indebted to you. granting
that possible," this with a glance at
the two fallen men.
"My horse is on the new road some
fifty-yards from here." I said. "I myself .am traveling to Aldgate and shall
be glad to offer you myescort."
"Which I shall be even more glad to
accept." she said quickly, "and were I
to meet more ruffians I might not tind
another rescuer so ready at my call."
A short distance back the woods
were more open, and after helplug ber
to remount I led her horse to tbe new
road, came upon Edward and swung
into "the saddle.
For some time we rode on in silence.
1 coulci feel her eyes, however, and 1
knew she was reading me as only wo
men can read men. but 1 possessed one
httle secret which I -'mentally defied
[ her to guess.
"It is very fortunate for me that
commerce should call you to Aldgate
on this particular night." she said at
last, and she could have said nothing
which I would have found; more exasperating, for it showed clearly that
she had decided j was;a clerk.
"I have no business in Aldgate," 1
said tartly.'.-."Aldgate is a seaport, and
I am headed for the low countries."
."The.wars?" she,questioned quickly.
"The wars," FHirepeated, with my
bead high.
She answered this with a low laugh
and question that made my cheeks
burn.
"What has made you suddenly desire to turn so'.dier?"
The girl seemed to read my past life
like an open book, but one fact she bad
not read, nor did I intend she should.
Still there was no reason why 1 might
not tell her part of tbe truth.
"My father." I said, "has rather a
quick temper. People say that 1 have
Inherited somewhat of it We disagreed
on a small matter." " ,
"Your speech is brief and to the
point," said my, companion. "And now.
principally I believe because you have
not asked me, I will tell you why I am
riding alone to Aldgate. 'My father has
rathor.Ni quick temper. People say,
that I have, inherited somewhat of it.
We disagreed on a small matter."
And then in a (lash I saw it all. why
slie was on the road. Truly-there never ,
was such a trick of fate as that we
should meet on this night. ' ,
"It seems that a lew mad words have
cost us both' our homes,"- I said.'' ,' '
My quarrel "\%.s more tuau< a tew
.nad words!" she cried angrily. ��� "lie
would'have married me to .a churl���a
clerk, a scribbler!".
I,bit m.y/lip at that and said nothing.,
I knew well enough to, whom he would
have married' her. , -
' "A clerk,'" she, continued,,, "with, no'
more spirit than a leveret, one who
loves a book better than a sword. 'Tis
said he does needlework like tlie maids
of the^. house, and I. can well believe
���t " '���"',.

' - I ' already knew ,,that well enough,
but she seemed to expect some' surprise, so I drew in-my.breath quickly
and "gave a low..exclamation.' It sufficed, and she continued:
i "I am( his daughter, and we have

I would know your name."
The moon had come out bright and
full by uow. I threw Edward across
her path and. dolling my hat, said:
"Mistress Bayard. I am Henry Sheldon."
She half rose in ber stirrups, and the
color rushed into her face, but hor eyes
did not fall before mine. W7e were long
so, looking into-'cach other's eyes.
"So you,did not wish to marry me?"
she said finally.
"At least the disinclination was mutual."
"I knew of you only through hearsay. Why have you always kept away
from me?"
"No man values what he does not
know."
"But you must havo seen me sometimes."
"Yes," I said; "I have seen you. I
knew you were beautiful, but I knew
of your character only through what I
heard. I was afraid we should not
find much in common,"
"And this short ride has made you
change your estimate of me?"
"This short ride has changed a disobedient prodigal Into a most obedient
son, and, were I not pledged to give
you safe conduct to Aldgate I should
even now turn back and marry as my
father wished."
"Far be it from me." she said in the
tone of a father confessor, "to distract
this good youth from so worthy a resolution. Ever obey thy father, and all
will be well with thee."

"All of them. It's near the middle of

for most of the gang," Hildreth an-

I shall like to see them when they
know! You are going to tell them, of
course, Helen?"
"You may tell them. I shall not say
a word," Helen said, setting her finger
tips together. "I'm beginning to be
cowardly." she went on. "Suppose it
should turn out that my money costs
me my friends and my illusions?"

The Lincoln cathedral occupied ninety years in building. An English contractor has recently estimated that he
could reproduce, it in a few years for
$3,000,000. i
/'No; the forty cent place did not die
in answer to my prayers." Hildreth
said upon the anniversary of Helen's
inheriting. He sat opposite her, with a
broad damask snowfield between, all
the breadth of it gleaming with silver
and crystal. Roses lay loosely over it
���heavy headed hothouse roses growia* -
upon the place. Helen, a vision ia
misty white, with pearls at her throat
and richer roses at ber breast, was alJ-,

threadbare then. Somehow Hildreth

demurely. "Vance, you have treated; '���

when I came to the city. By way oft

Women and Worry, ,-._���
Granting that a woman's nerves are- "x
more apt to become detraquc, tomorrow a French word, than a man's are,,
a fact which we have no wish to try to-
account for, we are not at all sure that
it is because she is more subject to the-
srnaller worries of .life than a man is or
indeed that she is really more subject
to them. It is true that the cares of the,
household, productive as they are of
much grievance "and trouble, fall chiefly upon a woman's shoulders; but. oq-
the other hand, a man's ordinary business or profession is quite as full of
small annoyances /and worries which
are every whit as irritating as 'those
that beset his wife.
The difference, we should say, between the two sexes lies rather in the
manner in which they meet their troubles than in the apportionment of those
troubles. We would not readily dispute
the theory that it is the steady and persistent pressure of these small worries
which works a 'change in the nervous
system more surely than any great and
sudden trouble, just as the drop of water hollows tbe stone, but we are inclined to believe that the reason in this
case why one stone is hollowed sooner
than tho other is to be found in the
greateiy softness of the stone and not in
the greater frequency of the drop.�����-

A.i wuen'l got up 1 *aw tbe sleigh swing- Joel Herrick 'drove along disconsolately in the moonlight, flicking his whip about 'Bay Charley's ears. Behind the yarn uiuiller his face wore an expression of disappointment and wounded pride, and it was evident that, the five miles of tine sleighing before him on this keen, beautiful night held no charms. Disconsolate ho looked and disconsolate he felt, for had he not just been scorned by the lady of his heart? Little had he thought when he drove Susannah refers out to Johnson's gold- ' en wedding that she would desert him. and for his bitterest rival, Ed Sparks, and yet��������� o ��������� . , Joel had danced often with the, pretty, golden haired Susannah. She, happily conscious of her new blue ribbons - and pink 'cheeks, 'had beamed upon him, dancing his heart quite out of him and himself into the brave resolve to speak of his love on the' homeward 'drive, for, although Joel had "'kept company" with Susannah for six- months, .he had' always lacked .tho . courage to "ask her" point blank. , Now, Ed Sparks, on the other hand, ' lacked not the courage, but rather had pressed his suit,\even,when Susannah had clearly-snubbed him. Perhaps it was done.only to nettle the hesitating Joel; perhaps Susannah was really impressed by Ed's brand new suit'of store clothes, scarlet tie and glittering' cutf buttons and studs. 'At any rale, when the dancing was done and lhe big "dining room was thrown open it ' was Ed Sparks who stepped quickly forward and "handed" Susannah to the delectable feast, and i't was Ed ' Sparks who filled her glass with Aunt Marcy Johnson's best blackberry wino when-the health1 of boat and hostess( was drunk. ' And ' all the while Joel 'Herrick, his heart eaten out with jeal-' ousy, tried to look gay as he served an- ' other and,Mess favored damsel. - After supper- goodbys "were said, - the stone.bottles were filled with hot water in anticipation ,of long rides - through the cold night, the women "bundled-each other up in tippet'and shawl, while the men ' harnessed the horses. To be sure,-'Joel had but one- - horse to harness, yet the crafty Ed managed to reach the house doer first with his" prancing young horses and a ���������il "ame to a sudden and mi- dio girled at the second verse when a commotion was ; ee^.������e**ee**O0**������C ������__**������������ ���������hM.a .t UK- ���������,���������,��������������� ot t_ WL "Tb- S _ ^_ yjjgjg. | t ���������_aOCKSMffiiSi a hot ahd eager fireman forced his way through' tbe audience up to the foot- lights and bawled out at the top ot his J voice: ������������������"Bill, you've got to come out of them ��������� ���������er* boots if you value your life.

Susannah gave one swift glance from Ed's dashing turnout to staid Bay Charley and the old fashioned cutter. Vaguely she heard a ' chorus of feminine ��������� "oh's" and "ah's," and Joel's fate was sealed. She sprang into Ed's sleigh, tlie envy of every other girl on the great porch. All this furnished anything but pleasant thoughts for Joel as he drove home alone, and when he realized that at this moment Ed's arm might be encircling the slender, waist of Susannah he fairly groaned in spirit. Perhaps the bold fellow might even dare to kiss her. Joel grasped his whip tightly, and Bay Charley sprang forward in-surprise. Two miles had been covered, and he reached a point where the road wound through a patch of woodland. The trees "stood gaunt, strange and black against the dazzling snow. Now and then a branch snapped with the cold, sounding like the report of a pistol en the still moonlight. Joel commenced to whistle from sheer lonelincs.s. Then suddenly the sound died oh his lips, in astonishment he saw a woman walking toward him. 'Nearer and nearer they came together. Mere and more familiar became the outlines oi that feminine figure. As he slowed up shrank back against a tree. "Why. Susannah!" "Oh, Joel. I'm so glad it's you'" v There were tears in her voice. "But Joel remembered the slights, the humiliation recently put upon .him. and hardened his,heart and his voice. - ������������������Well. Miss Peter?, if you are goin' 'home alone I shall be pleased to take von under my care." His' tone was not Inviting, but tho shivering Susannah quickly.climbed to his side. Joel touched up Bay Charley, .'hut for some time remained silent. Now and then he glanced at the little i.irure''crouched at his side, .shirking with sobs and cold together.- Joel's heart reproached him, and he finally remarked:' '."Seems to me you ain't actin' right tonight. First you take up with a no account sort of fellow like Ed Sparks; then you go walkin' alone at this time, of ni-ht. '.Where's Ed. an* what does he mean, leavin' .vou all alone like this? if he ain't treated you right, I'll take him out an' horsewhip him." Susannah laid her hand appealingly on Joel's arm. "I'vo been mean to you. Joel, but��������� hut this ain't Ed's fault. I���������I���������foil out!" loel snorted incredulously. ������yo<s I did, too. Joel.

' I was scart to death. Everything was so white an' st'll.,an lu' the woods the moon was looicm at me through the dark branches ol the trees' for all the world like a queer face. 1-1 don't believe 1 could, have stood it much .longer." By this time Joel was chuckling o\er his rival's predicament, and Susannah silt up in sudden dismay. ,������But you won't tell anybody. * 1 you. Joel? Tlie whole town'll be laugh- in' at' mc." S ;.',.+ Joel turned serious on the instant. ��������� "No they won't laugh at you. If they do, they'll have to answer to me. Besides, the* joke ain't on you. Us, on Ed " But just'at this time Ed was having fresh troubles of his own. Careening, swaving, he drew near Hufflesburg at .a racing gait, utterly unconscious that Susannah was no longer flinging to the seat -before, which ,he still stood, tugging at the reins. Occasionally he threw an encouraging word over his shoulder'or told her how brave she was not to scream and add to then- danger. The horses ' would soon run 'themselves out,' and the road before them was clear. r ������ .- ��������� But. alas, just as he turned into the town a sudden obstacle appeared in their track-Farmer, Schneider's big sleigh, laden wilh the rosy cheeked Mrs. Schneider and three' equally ,rosy daughters! At Ed's warning shout Schneider drew his placid white mare to'one side, but'the flying team caught the 'rear of Schneider's sleigh, and a chorus of feminine' shrieks was wafted .to'the "fleeing Ed. > The drift was deep, and the'five Schneiders, when disentangled.: found themselves uninjured, but nevertheless wrathful at the reckless driver. ' -_ , ' " In the meantime Ed had reached die center'.of the"town! and* his-horses, exhausted and steaming, finally responded to-the rein. With a feeling of intense relief Ed turned to .his companion. Consternation seized him. W here was Susannah? Caught in the'mael strom of Schneiders? No, his cuttei had not been injured in the collision Ho remembered with horror that she had not spoken since the horses ,urs. began their mad run. What if she had been back there in the woods all tluu time, frozen, perhaps attacked by i tramps? Ed was too frightened to be ! logical. With a curse he turned uiu fagged horses back into the road and whipped them on at a mad gait. Again he' passed' the Schneider family, and as the farmer once more pulled out of his way, this time more successfully, his goodwife murmured: "I did not think Marcy Johnson's wine was so strong as that." Half a mile farther he met Joel and stopped at the hitter's vigorous bail. "Good evenin'. Ed." said Joel, with a cheerful smile for his .discomfited rival "Are you goin' to look for Susannah? She's here, safe in my sleigh, an' you can,just bet she ain't goin" to make such a mistake again." ^ Ed ignored the complacent Joel and, making his best-bow���������that is. the best he could make while trying to hold the two astonished and trembling horses- said: "I'm awful sorry I had such an acci- Pclers: but if you aren't so much, an' 1 x CopjTight; 1901, by M.SIcC.-Williams j "Carola!"

The following incident occurred at an entertainment-in a large provincial town: On the programme a certain vo- crlist was down to sing "The Miners Dream of Home." and to add special effect to the song he, having a friend a tiremair at the fire station, .about three minutes' walk from the hall, ran out and borrowed his top boots. His turn on the programme came around. He appeared on the stage in all the glorv of a blouse, slouch hat. white breeches and the fireman's top boots.

Still there were a few softer souls who .shook the head, saying a girl, as you might.say. driven into double harness would be mighty apt before long to kick over the traces and small blame to her if she did. Everybody wondered at the setting out of a wedding feast and calling in wedding guests. A simple marriage, with only legal witnesses, seemed.to fit the case's complications better. A I few understood, but wisely held their I peace. The wedding was Mrs. Wilson's triumph. She would not forego showing to her world that in th.s her hardest battle she had prevailed. But even this wise few were something amazed at one thing-she had invited among .the rest Jack Harrison, the lawyer lover whom two months earlier she had forbidden the place. He would not come, of course, but by 3 o'clo . everybody else was on hand, minister and bridegroom included. Aunt Sarah was for setting for- ' ward "the wedding ceremony. There , was not the least use in waiting an . hour, with everything ready. That' brought'on a very, pretty quarrel with Carola. "You:ll cometo the'judgmeut bar an hour ahead of-time." she said ^ . to Aunt Sarah, "Ubt"you won't he able to hurry St. Peter, and for once Imean ' to act the saint." - . ' Storming did no good.

Don't you know that?",another demanded: Carola laughed again, a laugh both, mocking and mer-y , ' AH- things cart lily end, even' anVhour^ _ of waiting upon an'ungrateful, bride's' ��������� caprice. When the'clock, marked Jive " - minutes past 4., Carola stood exactly ;. ��������� in the middle o'f the-3big square1 parlor, ��������� feeling - herself" the , target of all eyes.

It is almost impossible to foi-' low rules in a case of this sort. What will succeed in one case is useless in another, so that a driver must exercise good judgment���������"horse sense"���������in handling a case. ' , , A vevy good treatment*is to watch lhe animal, closely in places where it 'would be likely to balk, and -with the first sigh-of stopping the driver should say "Whoa," then get off and loosen or, prcteiul to change ithe harness, in some way; also lake up a foot and tap tho shoe with a stone. Spend a few moments leisurely in this* way/and in nine cases out of ten the animal will forgot its inclination tO'balk-and will go on at the first,.bidding.- It is aj'jo well to give a lump ^of' sugar or a handful of oats or an apple. This will always produce' better results than severe measures. _ ' FROM DEATH'S DOOR AN OTTAWA MAN'S WONDERFULLY NARROW ESCAPE.
